Re: Amazon Heat (2:50am January 24, 2012):

Lisa and Patricia, I think 50 pages works as long as you get a well rounded
story.

Rachel & Angela, thanks so much. I do hope you enjoy Amazon Heat.

Tracie, I think the fun part of a novella series is that you get to revisit those
characters that you enjoyed in short format.

Jennifer, I totally agree. Thanks for stopping by.

Patti, I agree. Sometime you just want something short when your trying
new to you authors or to feed the reading need when your short on time.

Thanks for stopping in.

Re: Amazon Heat (6:47pm January 23, 2012):

Jennifer, Amazon Heat is definitely not a lunch break read. Sorry to hear
you've been burned. I've read a couple myself where you get to the last
page and think "That's it? Seriously.". I've read a few really good series
novellas as well. I think they can be a nice way to have numerous quick
visits with the characters.

Carla, I agree. Thanks for stopping in.

Robin, I love series too. I'm especially fond of books that feature the same
characters, but as long as the characters from book one ply a roll I'm
happy. That's the fun part oh the Amazon series. Book one's characters I'll
definitely appear in book two.

Kelli Jo, I have to agree. Sometimes a novella is a great way to get run a
new to you author. It's not as time consuming and generally less expensive.

Thanks for stopping in everyone.

Linda,

I can appreciate that. Not everyone enjoys shorter stories. Amazon Heat however falls into your page count criteria. LOL! Thanks for stopping in.

Ilona,
I totally agree with that view point. For us, felt right as a short. We put a lot of action and emotion in a quick fast read. Thanks for stopping by today.

Hi Sue,

I'm right there with you. If it comes to reading something short vs. not reading at all because of time constraint I'll take the short.

Hi Tiffany,
I've read shorts exactly like you've describe. There is just so much packed into a tight space that you aren't left want except for maybe wanting the sequel. I hope you enjoy Amazon Heat. Thanks for stopping in.

Thanks Nancy! We appreciate you stopping in.

Re: Amazon Heat (9:46am January 23, 2012):

Thank you, Peggy! Melinda and I wanted to create something fun and action packed when we created Amazon Heat.

I can appreciate that for some there's just not enough meat a novella for them to sink their teeth in and enjoy. That's why I really like novella series. They're short and sweet, and you get to revisit favorite characters.

Thanks for stopping in.

Re: Amazon Heat (9:25am January 23, 2012):

I agree, Felicia! Thanks for stopping to chat.

Re: Amazon Heat (9:17am January 23, 2012):

Hi Gladys,

I agree novellas can be very satisfying. Some times they are all I have the time and attention span to get read. Thank you. Melinda and I had a lot of fun researching the rain forest for this story we look forward to going back to this world. In fact book 2 is already in the works.
